Maria Borges Obituary
Alcina was born on December 3, 1931, in São Miguel, Portugal, the daughter of the late Antonio Pimentel and Clara Pimentel.
Alcina grew up in the Azores and found the love of her life Mario and together they moved to the United States in 1964.
Alcina had a heart of gold. She was gentle, kind and caring. Some of her favorite ways to spend her time was with her family reminiscing about the past, sharing stories from back in Portugal and during her time here in the states.
Alcina had a warm and welcoming heart especially for animals. She loved animals of all kinds and you would often find her out in the yard breaking bread for the birds, and feeding the rabbits, squirrels and chipmunks.
One of the most important things in life for Alcina was taking care of her family. She spent a lot of her time in the kitchen cooking the most amazing Portuguese meals. No matter who you were though, if you walked into Alcina's home you would be welcomed with open arms and loads of great food to eat.
Alcina is survived by her husband Mario Borges, her son Donald Borges and his wife Elizabeth Borges. Her grandchildren Crystal Borges and her husband Zacc Lacasse, and Alesha Borges and her significant other Ben Archibald and her great-grandchildren Gavin Lacasse, Dominic Lacasse and Baylaa Alcina. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Alcina is predeceased by her brothers Joao Pimentel, Gilberto Pimentel, and Jose Pimentel.
